Then you'll find out if she is snowing you or not - and where she is getting

her " source "

Yesterday was Nic's IEP. As I suspected, they are trying to move Nic from PT

learning support to Full Time (which is at another school in the district).

The director of SPED said there is certain criteria Nic needs to meet to be in

PT-basically she said he isn't " up to the level " . That he requires too much

curriculum modification for science & social studies and that he is not attending

while in the reg classroom.

Fortunately, the principal was very supportive of me and insisted there must be

things we can do to make this work for Nic.

Where would I find this policy or criteria? I think she may be trying to snow

me.

I did 4 hours of homework yesterday to find this " criteria " and stumbled upon

this on the PATTAN website. It was a Q & A section.

(At the meeting she was saying that if we reduce the time he is in the regular

ed class then he wouldn't meet the criteria for Part-Time learning support.)

" Has the Bureau of Special Education developed percentage of time guidelines

(under section VI-Least Restrictive Environment [of the IEP]) that the IEP Team

could use to determine the types of service (Part-Time, Full-Time, Itinerant or

Resource) also under section VI-Least Restrictive Environment?

Answer: No. They are not related. Special Education is a service not a place.

So, I think I'll ask her anyway for this criteria (in writing of course) to see

what I get, then I'll spring this on her at some point.
